Liverpool star speaks out: Jurgen Klopp is to blame for this - My doubters are wrong

Loris Karius has kept just two clean sheets since superseding Simon Mignolet at Liverpool

But the former Mainz star admits he wouldn’t have it any other way.

Liverpool went into the international break top of the table and goalscoring charts having racked up 26 points and 30 goals in their opening 11 matches.

However, they’ve not been so efficient at the back, conceding 14 times - more than twice as many goals as the Premier League’s best defensive outfit, Tottenham (6).

Jurgen Klopp takes his Liverpool team to Southampton this weekend

Liverpool will be seeking to improve on that record when they face Southampton on Saturday.

However, Karius clearly hopes they will not abandon their attacking intent in a bid to tighten things up.

He told the Liverpool Echo: "Sometimes we’re a bit disappointed that we didn’t get as many clean sheets yet as we maybe wanted but we’ve a very aggressive style of play, very high positions, sometimes that’s the risk you take.

“If you look at it in total when you win 6-1 it could be worse!”

Loris Karius says Liverpool don't mind conceding goals - as long as they're scoring them as well

"Maybe one counter-attack or whatever, or a set piece, can lead to a goal, but if you look at it in total when you win 6-1 it could be worse!"

Karius, who has kept just two clean sheets in seven games in a Liverpool shirt, was keen to point out why his doubters are wrong too.

"I think the problem was more that in the first games, there was really nothing for me to do as in saves, so when I made maybe a bad pass or missed one cross or something, it was looked at very critically because this was the only stuff to be looked at," the 23-year-old said.
